A New View of Society and Other Writings

In his early works Owen argues that, since individuals are wholly formed by their environment, education is the crucial factor in transforming them. Later he came to adopt far more radical positions, proposing nothing less than 'the emancipation ofmankind' and the creation of a 'new moral world', a full-scale reorganization of British society, major reforms of working practices and the Poor Laws and the establishment of co-operative model.

Reviews

Fun

—— OK!

Packed with intrigue, sex, glamorous parties and hot men, this is a compulsive book that cries out to be teamed with a box of chocolates, deep bubble bath and a phone that's well and truly off the hook. Pure escapism with likeable, strong characters, this is an inspirational if frothy read about sisters doing it for themselves

—— Scarlet Magazine

A fun tale of friendship and revenge set in the racy and glamorous world of Hollywood stardom...so entertaining I had a hard time of putting it down at night to go to sleep!

—— My Weekly

When the going gets tough, the tough...get together to conquer Tinsel Town in this fabulously bitchy, insider account of movie industry girl power

—— The Daily Record

Outstanding

—— Vanity Fair

Jean Plaidy conveys the texture of various patches of the past with such rich complexity

—— Guardian

One of our best historical novelists

—— News Chronicle

Plaidy has brought the past to life

—— Times Literary Supplement
